AWStats < 6.5 Perl Content-Parsing Code Execution
medium Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 2613
Synopsis
The remote host is vulnerable to an arbitrary 'command insertion' flaw.Description
The remote host is running AWStats, a CGI log analyzer. There are various content-parsing flaws in the remote version of this software that would allow an attacker to execute code on the remote host. An attacker exploiting this flaw would only need to be able to generate HTTP requests to the awstats.pl CGI script. A successful attack would allow the attacker to run system commands with the privileges of the CGI script.Solution
Upgrade to AWStats 6.5 or higher.See Also
